How does adding a 3rd party logging service affect how much i have to pay to Heroku

Question

This would sound very newbie but I've just added a centralized logging service (Splunkstorm free version) to my rails app on heroku and it completely changed my life. I don't know why i never thought of this before.

I can just read all the logs from web interface without running heroku logs --tail which spawns a new dyno everytime i do it.

Which makes me curious: Does adding this type of logging service affect how much i have to pay to heroku? I mean, it's sending out packets every time something happens.

Answer 1

Nope!

Bandwidth is included in the dyno pricing (including the one you get for free).

There is a soft limit at 2TB of bandwidth , but you're unlikely to come anywhere near that from logging.
